Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "You can import one CSS from another using the @import keyword."

A block of code is set as follows:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // you custom code
    Application.launch(MyApplication.class, args);
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

@DefaultProperty("children")
public class Pane
extends Region

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

> javac FXApplication.java
> java FXApplication

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "For example, we see that the area under the mouse cursor is a DIV, as shown in the following screenshot."

Warnings or important notes appear like this.

Tips and tricks appear like this.
